It cites several earlier texts, sometimes critically, and defines Haṭha Yoga as “the ten mudrās beginning with mahāmudrā, the eight [cleansing] techniques, the [nine] kum bhakas and the 84 āsanas” (1.18), substituting the Haṭhapradīpikā ’s nādānusandhāna with the cleansing techniques (it teaches nāda as part of laya ). Śrīnivāsa describes several techniques not taught in other texts and supplements them with detailed practical insights.

Haṭharatnāvalī (हठरत्नावली) represents a 17th-century text on Haṭhayoga consisting of 404 verses composed by Śrīnivāsa.—On the date of the Haṭharatnāvalī, see Birch 2018, 109 note 24.—the Haṭharatnāvalī combines the fourfold system of yoga (i.e., Mantrayoga, Layayoga, Haṭhayoga and Rājayoga) of earlier works, such as the Amaraughaprabodha, with the aṣṭāṅga format. The author of the Haṭharatnāvalī borrowed over one hundred and thirty verses from the Haṭhapradīpikā and mentions Svātmārāma’s views on several specific matters (Gharote et al. 2002, xx).
Yoga is originally considered a branch of Hindu philosophy (astika), but both ancient and modern Yoga combine the physical, mental and spiritual. Yoga teaches various physical techniques also known as āsanas (postures), used for various purposes (eg., meditation, contemplation, relaxation).
